I honestly feel like Riot did a good job this time around. He is really fun to play and I feel quite balanced in the way an assassin should be. If you mess up, you don't do damage. He is how I feel assassins should be, good damage but if you mess the combo up at all no damage, and hard to play. Granted I'm not LCS. The only problem is I feel that in this damage meta he just can't really compete with high damage easier assassins. Either way, I love playing him.
His cooldowns are way to long for a assassin..i don't like his q at all. Riot ruined my favorite champ to play!
Out of all the new assassin updates, I never ever seen talon played in ranked (unless it's me, and then i regret it). Like a slow fat "batman" now. And the joker always gets away.
The Talon rework made Talon better as and healthier as a champion in every facet. he is harder, but more deep, fun and more rewarding than he has ever been and he still feels like Talon. Dare i say, he feels even better than that. he feels even more fleshed out than before.
The very notion that you can "mess up" Talons combo highlights the problems with the Talon rework, perhaps all the assassin reworks. Talon was the straightforward assassin, now he has telegraphs and shenanigans and delays.
Big AOE damage and solid reliable spells were replaced with a gimmick. I understand if people like the new talon, but I also understand why people would hate playing him now.
